He is wrong. Wont make any difference.

But afaik the ps4 isn't launching there either. That is a major snub seeing as they usually launch first there.

Even India and Brasil receiving the PS4 and Japan not? I think Sony is going for WW release the first time in the PS history.

X1 can launch in Japan when planets are aligned, it won't change anything. The Japanese hate them for what they did with Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean 4.

Lol the hell? Who told you that?

Common sense. Someone forces you to shed dozens of thousands of yens in a console you don't want in order to play one or two games and later those games releases with more content on the system you wanted from the start. How do you feel?

For one thing you dont develop a hate for them because of that. If you like jrpgs you shoulld follow the games not the console.

Yes, provided they're not timed exclusives fabricated to deceive me. And actually, PS3 ended up being the right console for JRPGs since it has far more exclusives than any other in this category.

We have allready seen what a year head start does in Japan....

No, Japans love for handheld and PC gaming, while having a declining interest in consoles is MS best hope.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I do not think that Japan is going to hold much sway over there. This is wrong. I am sure. Especially after sales of the 360 in japan. The only think that I can say, is that Microsoft never gave up. Japan always got a steady release of games even though it did not sell well. that is one of the only things they got going for them in japan.



They didn't give up did they? I think they need to push some," win a xbox one events," all over japan. This area needs some love spread around.

My thoughts exactly.

Also the OP makes no sense. The 360 didn't do well in Japan at all and it's still a huge success so.......

hey who knows ?
MS might be trying some reversed psychology shit!!!
Like: "you know what??? Fuck you Japan!!! you are not that relevant anymore, so we'll release maybe someday if we have left over inventory elsewhere, cause you ain't buying anyway and you cost us more than you generate profit!!! order on US MS store if you want one!!!! Peace!!!"
hey could work, sometimes scarcity of an internationally demanded product can hike sales on the grey market... MOUHAHAHAhahaha

That doesn't work when people don't want your product in the first place.

For as much as people want to ignore what 360 did in Japan, I'm curious how many regions did better? I would assume Japan is in the top 10 lifetime sales for all regions (how many did more than 1.6 million).

It was mostly that first month I think. I figured if I just posted a ton of the bat, by the time I take it easy nobody will realise I'm a noob here anymore. 

Thanks for spoiling the illusion!
